Original subtitles

-Yes, Farooq. -Sir, I have found Ikhlaq Khan.

This evening, I was with Ismail.

He told me that Hafiz received a call from his boss.

He's in Saudi and planning to do something in India.

All the connections and contacts are through Jaish-e-Mohammed.

Sir, I am absolutely sure that their boss

is none other than Ikhlaq Khan.

Did he mention Ikhlaq Khan's name?

-No, sir. But I am sure-- -We can't be too sure.

-Keep me posted. -Okay, sir.

Farooq.

Are you okay?

Yes, sir.

Take care of yourself.

Sir.

John, give me a drink.

Cheers.

Hi.

Hi.

Alone?

Scared?

Where is your boyfriend?

You just dropped him off at the airport.

Right. Now I remember.

You didn't come last night?

You didn't meet me, so obviously I didn't come.

If you had informed me...

I wouldn't have waited.

You should have informed me that you were waiting.

You have two choices, Farooq.

Either you can spend the entire night

here with this drink, or...

Why are you creating a scene on the road?

Jai Hind, sir.

I am sending a message.

-Track him. -Okay, sir.

-Find out all the details. -What happened, sir? All okay?

No. Today, for the first time, a guy made me reverse my car.

Capable people are taking over our country.

Coffee.

Thank you.

-What are you looking at? -I am thinking.

About what?

That how can I be such a fool?

An attractive lady is right beside me,

and I am looking over there.

So bloody corny!

Saroj, please. I can't handle it.

-Relax. Go. -I can't handle...

Talk to her.

What will I talk about?

-Who else would, if not you? -You can ask her and tell me.

What would I ask her?

"Dear, you are so grown up. How is your boyfriend? What's his name?"

Am I going to talk to her about her boyfriend, Saroj?

Rather I'd take him into a corner and thrash him.

Son of a bitch.

You can't use such language at home.

Ridiculous.

I'll talk to her tomorrow.

Okay...

-Hi, Dad. -Hi.

Did you upload the selfie before breakfast?

Actually, you know what, Dad? I need to talk to you.

Of course, dear.

-How much money do you need? -Dad!

What?

You know what? Never mind. Thanks.

What? Pari!

Really?

Morning, sir.

Morning. Come in.

Sir, Mansoor has sent a message from Karachi.

His sister is getting married. He is asking for Rs. 1 lakh

in Indian currency.

Get it done.

But remind him that we got the last tip

-one and a half years ago. -Sure.

Sir, Shamshuddin from Dhaka.

His house got flooded during the rains. He has asked

for Rs. 20,000 or Rs. 25,000, whatever we can help with.

What else?

Sir, I need your signature here to get this sanctioned.

What is it?

Sir, I need an iPad. I need your signature for it.

Shamshuddin's house got flooded in Dhaka,

and you want an iPad?

-Sir, how are they related? -I'll think about it.

-Send money to Shamshuddin. -Okay, sir.

Which line can I use to make calls today?

Sir, lines seven and four are secure.

-Thank you. -Thank you, sir.

Hello. How are you?

Good.

I have heard

that a match has been found for Fareeda.

-I don't know if it is confirmed. -This is great news.

-Should I apply for leave? -No. Not now.

Start shopping.

I'll find out the details in a few days

and inform you about the wedding.

-Bala! -Okay...

It is our tradition

that, even if elders are wrong,

we don't talk back.

Oh, Bala!

Okay. See you.

Who is calling?

Well, my uncle.

-Which one? -The one from Delhi

who gifted a red-colour fridge on our wedding.

He is a very nice person!

-Answer the call. -Okay.

Hello. Uncle! Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you, too.

-Is Salim home? -Yes.

-Yes, everything is fine. -I have heard

that a match has been found for Fareeda.

I don't know if it's confirmed.

Wow! Congratulations, Uncle.

You finally found a match.

Let me talk to him.

-Hey-- -Let me talk to him.

Hello.

Peace be upon you, Uncle. How are you?

Praise be to God.

Okay, Uncle. I have a request.

Please don't fix the wedding date without consulting us.

You already know there is a lot of work pressure.

I don't get leaves. We need to inform in advance.

We will fix the date after consulting you, dear.

I will hang up now.

-I've to inform others too. Bye. -Okay...

I will hang up now.

Done. The wedding has been fixed.

Great.

He says your visa has expired on the 13th, which is today.

Your flight for today is cancelled. The next flight is tomorrow.

-And you need a new visa. -Yes, but it's not my fault

that the airline cancelled the flight.

-It's the process. -No, so what does he expect me to do?

What can I do at the airport?

-Please switch off your phone. -Yes, I am just...

I'm switching it off.

Switch off your phone, please.

Listen, please explain to him

that I cannot be here at Jordan airport.

I need to reach Kabul.

If I am not at Kabul, then...

-Sir. -Juhi Kashyap

is stuck at Jordan immigration.

Find out what the problem is. Solve it immediately.

Sir.

Sir.

I hope you are not busy.

No, sir.

Then what are you doing at the Philharmonic Garden?

Nothing, sir.

I had forbidden you

to take private assignments, hadn't I?

Sir, I was getting bored.

The one you can see through your scope

is not a Russian businessman, but a Russian agent.

Walk away immediately.

Delete your contract account.

Did you meet anyone personally?

No, sir.

I have heard

that a match has been found for Fareeda.

I don't know if it's confirmed.

Congratulations, sir.

Let's see.

There is a lot of excitement coming up.

Save your energy.

What about your inquiry, sir?

When you don't know how to keep an account,

it's very difficult to give an account.

Okay, time is up. Bye.

-Sir. -I had forbidden you, right?

Sorry, sir.

-Hello, sir. -Good afternoon.

Good afternoon, sir.

Afternoon.

Good afternoon, Mr. Banerjee.

I said good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Start.

Day two of inquiry.

Mr. Himmat Singh.

We had a discussion yesterday when you left.

A very serious discussion.

Tell me something.

-Do you know what goyenda means? -It means...

"detective." An investigator, sir.

Correct.

Yesterday, after talking to you, we understood

that we have to become a detective to extract information

from a detective.

That's why we went through your file again very carefully,

and we noticed something.

Your expenses were absolutely normal till 2008.

But, from December 2008,

your expenses shot up.

And one name popped

in your file.

Himmat Singh, who is Farooq Ali,

and what is he doing in the UAE for the last ten years?

-Sorry-- -"Sorry, sir." This won't work.

If you say sorry again, I'll suspend this committee right now

and I'll recommend in my report to the board to stop your access

-and functioning immediately... -D.K.

-...until you start cooperating with us. -D.K.

-I think you're being a bit too harsh. -We have to be.

Enough.

Himmat, please answer.

Who is Farooq Ali,

and what is he doing in UAE for the last ten years?

Eleven.

Sorry?

Farooq Ali has been in Dubai for the last 11 years.

And I can confidently say

that now he knows more about Lashkar and Jaish

than you two.

Very good.

Thanks for the compliment.

Please go on.

It happened in 2008.

My assistant called me up from the police station

saying it was urgent.

Sir.

Take it easy.

-Where is he? -Over there.

-Sir... -Stand upright!

Didn't we detain him last time as well?

-Yes, sir. -Take your hands off.

-Sir... -What is this?

-Why are they doing this? -Sir, he is an Ajay Devgn fan.

-Jai Hind, sir. -Sir, this is Khatri.

He is the one who nabbed him.

What did he do?

Sir, he was betting in Chandni Chowk.

-What about? -About a major mishap

that will take place in Mumbai.

Don't move. Keep it down.

They said you were betting.

Sir, tell them to release my family.

What's your name?

Guddu.

Hey, release Guddu's family.

Give some chocolates to the kids.

-Sir... -Okay?

Sir, my father is the only family member I have.

Hey, release Guddu's father and give him a chocolate.

Okay? Speak up.

Sir, something big is about to happen

in Mumbai. A major blast.

-In Mumbai? -Yes, sir.

-Where exactly? -I don't know that, sir.

-My gun is in the car. -Sir...

-Get it. -Sir, I'm speaking the truth.

-Who has planned the attack? -Sir, I--

Who has planned the attack?

Khatri.

Empty your gun and give it to me.

You guys work according to your own set of rules.

Some people from Pakistan.

How do you know?

My cousin stays near the India-Pakistan border.

He stays in a village in Kashmir.

He told me this.

How? Where will they come from?

Sir, since they are Pakistanis, they will come from Pakistan.

-You son of a bitch! -Sir!

-How will they come? -Sir.

Which route will they take?

Sir...

Sir, I don't know that.

They said they would take...

-I don't... -What?

They would take the...

What did you say?

The terrorists will take the waterway

to enter Mumbai.

They will attack in a week or two.

How many days has it been since you learnt about it?

About 10 to 12 days, sir. Not more than that.

Sir...

Excuse me.

-Yes, Himmat. -Hello! Sir...

Yes. Hello...

There is an intelligence input of a terror attack in Mumbai.

What?

I can't hear you, Himmat. Speak louder!

There will be a terror attack in Mumbai, sir!

Hello!

Hello, sir.

November 2008.

During the attack on Taj,

Ajmal Amir Kasab got caught.

All agencies took turns to interrogate him.

I was sent to Mumbai on behalf of the R&AW.

Sorry, sir.

Do you get enough sleep?

And food?

Do the cops hit you?

Perhaps they scare you.

Well, you have killed so many people.

They will scare you a little.

Do you know who I am?

Just like you have ISI in your country, we have--

The R&AW.

These people have given me only 30 minutes to talk to you.

And there are so many people outside.

International media, human rights activists... all are here.

I have a couple of things to ask. May I?

Tell me about your training.

You underwent a four-stage training, right?

Yes.

The initial training...

for how many days was it?

Twenty days.

The intermediate?

Twenty-one days.

The advanced stage?

Seventy-five days.

The expert stage?

Thirty days.

You had to take steroids during the training, right?

Yes.

Well...

We had to become strong, you see.

We had to travel far.

We had to stand for hours and run long distances.

Our training regimen was tough.

We were given the best diet

and lots of medicines.

We would also take steroids.

We couldn't have afforded to make a mistake like the last time.

Last time? You mean the...

-the-- -The attack on your parliament.

They were struggling to run with their bags.

They showed us the video and told us not to be so weak.

During the advanced stage, we underwent training

more rigorous than the army.

We were taught

not to repeat the mistake made in 2001.

That we must kill as many people as possible

and hold them hostages for as long as possible.

That's what our training was like.

And...

to prevent us from falling asleep

cocaine and...

-LSD. -LSD. We were taught to take those.

Had somebody important come to impart training

during the advanced stage?

Many people had come.

Including the whites.

Somebody who had visited India before?

All of them had visited India before.

They were familiar with everything here.

But still, anyone...

Ikhlaq Khan... Anyone by that name?

We would address everyone as commander.

Try to recollect.

No.

Sir.

Shall I tell you something?

You are not like the others.

The others here...

keep abusing me.

Ajmal Amir Kasab.

What does "Ajmal" mean?

Well...

the one who is extremely good-looking.

You fucked your name up, you bastard.

Sir.

Your style

resembles that of our commander.

You are just like him.

He would behave just like you.

He taught us

to take medicines and drugs.

He'd say

that sleep is our biggest enemy.

Describe his features to me.

I don't know.

Whenever we met him,

either we'd be blindfolded

or his face would be covered.

While bidding farewell to us from the Karachi port,

he placed a bet with Wasim

that we'd kill more than 150 people.

Who is Wasim?

Wasim Karachiwala.

He doesn't cover his face.

He'd say behind his back...

that...

covering the face is something that women do.

He took pride in keeping his face uncovered.

Is Wasim Karachiwala in Muzaffarabad?

Till last month he was.

Wasim Karachiwala

was on our radar for quite long.

It is his drug network

that supplied arms to Jaish and Lashkar.

His network was effective even in the Valley.

Despite many efforts,

we were unable to track him down.

Brilliant!

What has Wasim Karachiwala

got to do with this inquiry, Himmat Singh?

Exactly. The only thing we asked was

who this Farooq Ali is.

Sir, in your file, Page 5...

In the sixth row,

there is a mention of Operation Smiley and its cost.

What is Operation Smiley?

Yes! What is it?

Operation Smiley was Farooq Ali's first operation.

After 26/11, we started getting phone calls

to kill some terrorist.

We proposed a list of extremists and the most wanted.

We had already confirmed their coordinates.

Wasim Karachiwala's name was selected.

Jaish and Lashkar's big shots had gone into hiding.

Many bank accounts were frozen.

These groups faced a shortage of money.

In this situation, in Muzaffarabad, PoK,

from the shop of one of our agents, we spread a rumour

that a businessman from Saudi

wants to give Kasab a reward

of Rs. 5 lakh,

but he doesn't know whom to give it to.

After encountering a few frauds,

on the seventh day, a few people came to our agent's shop

and took him away.

-Hey! -What...

Come on...

Get in! Hey!

Come on...

Hey! Take him. Come on!

Move it!

Move!

When the blindfold was removed,

he couldn't believe he was in front of Wasim Karachiwala.

The man we had been looking for three long years,

a bait of Rs. 5 lakh brought him to us.

-Who wants to reward Kasab? -Someone from Riyadh, sir.

He deals in crude oil.

-How much? -Rs. 5 lakh.

Call him up and let me talk to him.

The agent rang up the Saudi businessman,

and I spoke to Wasim Karachiwala directly.

Hello.

He gave me a false assurance.

And I accepted his false assurance.

In less than two hours,

the money was sent to him through the hawala network.

We assigned another person to spy on him.

He'd always be with him.

I told him that I want to start a few madrasas in Sri Lanka,

and he started looking for places outside Colombo.

After eight months,

we noticed a pattern.

Wasim Karachiwala

goes to Dubai

on the 14th, 15th and 16th of every month.

-Hello. -Where are you?

-Busy? -Tell me.

Actually, Pari wants to attend a party tonight.

No, that will be a problem.

We don't have clearance.

What if I give her the clearance?

We can't give clearance for late nights on such short notice.

Come on, Himmat.

They are her school friends. It should be okay.

Still, it is a sensitive area.

It won't be safe to go there without adequate security.

She's not going to war.

What's the exact location?

Club...

She said it is Club Tranquil.

Okay. Noted.

Great. Thanks.

Sir, I need to pass some instructions.

Yes, sir?

I am sending you details of a location.

Ensure complete security and sanitisation.

Okay, sir.

Turn it on.

So, Wasim Karachiwala would visit Dubai

on the 14th, 15th and 16th of every month.

Yes. When I met Farooq Ali for the first time--

We are not interested in learning

how you met for the first time.

Let's come to the point.

Okay, sir.

The moment Farooq Ali saw Wasim Karachiwala,

-he pulled out-- -Himmat!

We want to know why you chose Farooq Ali for this mission.

So, just answer the question.

I was about to tell you that, sir, but...

-he told me to get to the point. -I told you to get to the point,

but you skipped right to the end of the story.

Fine. Go ahead. Start from wherever relevant.

So, Farooq...

Send in four cups of tea along with some biscuits.

You have Crocin?

Mr. Chaddha, do you want one?

Get one for me.

We had been tracking Farooq Ali ever since he was in college.

Very bright, exceptionally sharp.

He wanted to join the Indian Army.

He appeared for CDS, but failed all five times

because of us.

We have an unwritten mandate

to look out for the brightest minds around.

So, Farooq would fail every year,

and we monitored him regularly.

After my meeting with Ajmal Kasab,

the first person I could think of

to kill Wasim Karachiwala

was Farooq Ali.

Don't make this mistake, Farooq.

Who are you?

You believe in angels, don't you?

I am an angel sent for you.

I failed the exams five times!

Where were you then?

I was the one who made you fail.

You want to join the army, don't you?

Yes.

What about being a soldier without donning the uniform?

For one month, I have been observing

that you come here and climb up.

And after five minutes, you get down and go home.

Whom were you waiting for to jump?

I was waiting for my angel.

The Delhi Police was after me for many days,

but I couldn't get to meet you.

Farooq was much better than I had thought.

I felt that we didn't recruit him,

but he recruited us.

We sent him to Bangalore and then to Srinagar.

After six months...

-Sir. -Sit down.

He is our target.

Wasim Karachiwala.

He is landing in UAE on the 13th,

but we won't do anything to him there.

He has a tight security cover.

We do have an opportunity

when Wasim Karachiwala

comes back to the airport to board the return flight.

Sir, you mean to say that I have to nab him

-at Dubai airport. -Precisely.

The objective of this mission is to abduct Wasim Karachiwala

moments before his flight takes off,

interrogate him before that flight lands in Karachi

and get all the information.

Besides...

he checks in a bit early at the airport.

Perhaps, he likes the food at the airport lounge.

Anyway.

You'll get around 30 to 60 minutes to abduct Wasim.

At 12 p.m. on the 16th, you'll land in UAE.

At the airport, a colleague of yours will join you

to assist you.

Apart from that, we have men to help us with the logistics,

and they will help you out.

So... any questions?

Sir...

I made you reverse your car.

So, this is the punishment?

This is your first assignment, Farooq,

so you get to choose the name.

Operation Smiley.

Attention, please.

This is an announcement for passengers

for Flight 232 to Karachi.

The flight has been delayed due to bad weather conditions.

Thank you.

End of day two.

Thank you, sir. Thank you.

You said Farooq Ali is in Dubai

for the last 11 years.

What's the hurry, Mr. Chaddha?

The camera is off.

Let's continue tomorrow.

Himmat Singh.

The stories you tell us are amazing.

No, sir. In our agency,

we make stories and set examples of the highest order.

Good day.
